I am pretty sure the current part is the version with the hole, you can't buy the older closed version.

SteveP, how about and update on your track car then mate? pics, tech stuff etc...

I'm thinking the reason there is an opening to this cover is to compensate for the noise pipe that was deleted in the latest model. Mine makes a very satisfying growl and it seems to come from under the bonnet.

Could you not just pop it off and note down the part number please?

I've had one of the very first GTIs in the UK, May 2009 registered and now have a 2011 registered car.
They both have the same inlet thingy. The 2009 car sounded nicer though.
